Are you planning on writing a book, in the process of writing one, or just curious about how to go from a manuscript to finished work? Whether you publish traditionally or on your own, you’ll likely be in charge of things like your own publicity and marketing, or and you’ll need to know about book design, metadata, ISBNs, and book launches.

At the 12th Annual IPNE Publishers & Authors Conference, we’re bringing in speakers who’ve “been there, done that,” speakers who are eager to share their expertise to help you flatten your learning curve.
